Abstract: The internet of objects is developing on the toy market. Toys are products with specificities that need to be taken into account in order to understand the conditions underlying the acceptance of this disruptive innovation. Specifically, anthropomorphic connected toys raise questions pertaining to the relations the child build with his/her toys, and even to his/her social interactions within his/her family. The findings of the empirical study carried out with parents show that the toy design as well as the child vulnerability are key criteria to considerate forfacilitating the acceptance of these connected toys.
